Miyajima Trip~

Itsukushima (厳島) is an island in the western part of the Inland Sea of Japan, located in the northwest of Hiroshima Bay . It is popularly known as Miyajima (宮島), the Shrine Island. So we reached Miyajimaguchi station 1st, then only proceed to Miyajima Port~ So excited!! Thanks God gave us good weather to enjoy the trip~
Saturday, damn crowded! Even in the Maru, is really "people mountain people sea!" Everyone want to go Miyajima~ Yeah yeah...I am sure is a nice place~
Deers are roam freely. Deer are thought of as sacred in the native Shinto religion because they are considered messengers of the gods. U can see deers all around here. ^^V (They are cute, but I still don't dare to touch them)
1st trip that bring my X5 Kiss out "gai gai" around~ Hehe..still beginner and not really know how to use the functions well. Luckily gt my sifu-Raymond here. Especially manual mode, hard to shoot the picture nicely... >.Maple-shaped fish cake~ 250yen It is really delicious and nice~ Very QQ! We enjoyed this maple fish cake so much. I ordered Tako flavour~ Nice!
Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritahe Site. According to records, the shrine was established in the time of Empress Suiko. The warrior-courtier, Taira gave the shrine its present form.

The island of Itsukushima, including the waters around it (part of Seto Inland Sea), and are within Setonaikai National Park. This sea is affected by strong tides. At low tide, the bottom of the sea is exposed past the island's Torii. At high tide, the sea covers all the previously-exposed mud and fills areas underneath the Shrine. When we reached there, we managed to get near to the Otorii bacause it is still low tide period.

Miyajima's maple trees are renowned throughout Japan, and blanket the island in crimson in the autumn. Wow, is really beautiful and amazed with the Autumn Scene here~ This is the 1st tree that we managed to stop and took some pictures here. Too crowded, so need to wait for our turn to take pictures.
The position of the maple leaves under the Sun make the maple looks nice~ I like this photo. Do you? Haha ^^
Goju-no-to Pagoda from Senjō-kaku Temple. Just only see from outside.
This type of maple leaves are small. Damn small. Last time I thought all the maple leaves are in big size. Hmm, I think I am wrong now~ Haha...
At high tide, the Otorii from far~ Morning we still hanging around there beside the Otorii~

Miyajima= The Otorii + deers.
Bye Bye Miyajima~ Love this Island! Really a beautiful place ^^
